Knee Pain Physical Therapy in Shawnee, KS

Your Knee Can Fix Itself.
We Show It How.

In our 60-minute Knee Performance Evaluation & Treatment, you’ll leave with answers, hands-on treatment, and a real plan to fix your knee pain.

This Is For You If…

  • Your knee hurts during runs, squats, or workouts – and it’s not getting better.
  • You had a knee surgery, completed your rehab, but something still isn’t quite right.
  • You’ve been told it’s just “wear and tear” or something you’ll have to live with.
  • Stairs, getting up from a chair, or kneeling down has become painful.
  • You want to avoid surgery and explore every option before going that route.
  • Your knee swells, locks, or gives way – and you’re not sure what’s going on.

What’s Included in Your Knee Performance Evaluation & Treatment.

This isn’t a generic PT appointment. At our Shawnee clinic, you’ll get a thorough knee assessment, hands-on treatment, and a clear plan forward – all focused on fixing the root cause of your knee pain, not just managing it.

  • Strength and Mobility Testing
    We test the specific strength and mobility patterns that contribute to knee pain – so we know what your body can handle today and what needs to be built up.
  • Functional Movement Assessment
    We watch how you move – squat, lunge, and other loading strategies – to connect the dots between your movement and your symptoms.
  • Hands-On Treatment
    Depending on what we find, treatment may include dry needling, cupping, or joint and soft tissue work targeted at what’s actually driving your symptoms.
  • Your Personalized Plan
    We put everything together into a clear, actionable plan specific to your body and your goals. No generic advice. No cookie-cutter exercises. A real path forward starting from day one.

Common Knee Pain Conditions We Treat.

Knee pain shows up differently for everyone. Whether you’ve been given a diagnosis or just know something isn’t right – we can help. Here are some of the most common conditions we see at our Shawnee clinic.

Runner’s Knee
(Patellofemoral Pain)

That dull, achy pain around or behind your kneecap that flares up during runs, squats, stairs, or prolonged sitting. It’s usually a sign your knee and hip haven’t built the strength to handle what you’re asking of them. We build that capacity so the pain stops coming back.

IT Band Syndrome

Sharp or burning pain on the outside of your knee that shows up during your workouts and forces you to stop. IT band syndrome isn’t a stretching problem – it’s a loading and strength problem. We address the real cause so you can get back to training without it coming back.

Patellar Tendinopathy

Pain at the front of your knee just below the kneecap – especially during jumping, squatting, or loading activities. Rest might calm it down, but it won’t make the tendon stronger. We use a progressive loading approach to build tendon capacity, so you can get back to what moves you.

Meniscus Issues

Whether you have a diagnosed meniscus tear or just pain and stiffness that hasn’t been fully explained – we assess the full picture. Many meniscus issues respond extremely well to the right conservative care without needing surgery.

ACL & Ligament Injuries

Whether you’re in the early stages after an ACL injury or years out from surgery and still not feeling right, we work with you wherever you are in the process. Our goal is to get you back to full strength, confidence, and function.

Post-Surgical Knee Rehab

Finished your insurance-covered PT after knee surgery but still not back to full function? You’re not alone. We pick up where others left off and get you the rest of the way there.

What People in Our Community Are Saying

Real results from motivated people across Shawnee, Lenexa, Olathe, De Soto, and surrounding areas who refused to “just live” with pain.

Thanks to Amanda’s expertise I am literally back to climbing mountains in Norway. Completing this after a hip replacement in April 2026 did not happen without a lot of hard work. We are very lucky to have such expertise in our little neck of the woods!

Amanda was fantastic to work with. She connected really well with my teen, and was incredibly flexible with both of us. She was quick to respond with questions and cannot recommend her highly enough!

I hurt my lower back golfing and set up an appointment to help with the pain. After doing the evaluation and doing the exercises they suggested I am doing much better and the pain is gone. I am back to playing golf with no pain. Highly recommend Levi and Amanda.

During the last tournament of my daughters volleyball season, she was experiencing significant heel pain. We initially thought it was Sever's disease and were treating it accordingly, but despite our efforts, she wasn't improving. With volleyball tryouts and closed gym season quickly approaching, we were concerned that the pain would prevent her from performing at her best. A friend recommended Amanda, and I am incredibly grateful they did. Amanda quickly identified that Olivia's pain was actually being caused by a combination of extremely flat feet, something we had no idea she had, and tight calf muscles resulting from a rapid growth spurt. Her thorough evaluation gave us answers we had been searching for and, more importantly, a clear path forward. Amanda got to work right away, and Olivia noticed improvement even after her first session. The app Amanda provided for daily stretches was easy to use, convenient, and helped keep us consistent with reminders and exercises at home. What impressed me most was Amanda's personalized approach. She took the time to connect with Olivia, explain what was happening, and make her feel comfortable throughout the process. Olivia genuinely enjoyed her appointments, and so did I. Amanda has a way of making you feel like you're talking with a trusted friend while still providing exceptional professional care. Thanks to Amanda, Olivia is feeling so much better and is ready to get back to doing what she loves. I cannot recommend her highly enough to any parent whose child is dealing with pain or mobility issues.

We are so thankful for the care we have received at TrueFix. Dr. Cain has helped my daughter through concussion protocol and sports injury to get her back on the soccer field. Dr. Cain is knowledgeable, friendly, and we have enjoyed her care. Highly recommend!

Amanda worked with me on my shoulders for three months recently, and I was able to get rid of the pain and sleep better and also strengthen my shoulders. I have continued to do my exercises at home with the True Coach app to maintain my strength. Very happy with my experience and the help I got from Amanda.

Amanda is an awesome physical therapist! She knew instinctively what was happening with my shoulder injury, and confirmed it with diagnostic testing. I saw immediate improvement, but she stuck with it and got my shoulder to fully functional. She utilized multiple techniques, and made me feel comfortable, cared for, and validated throughout the entire process. My only regret is not going to see her sooner.
